depression in thcrance cattle industry
is severely felt by English capitalists
who own stock in many western cat
tie companies. Mr.. Frewen gives his
views of the subject briefly rs follows.
He says that the trouble with the cat
tie industry proceeds wholly from the
OverstO Ocking of the ranges. He thinks
that '.thc cattle haron he il mo-
longer king) belongs to history
The great herds must he broken up.
The future of the industry rests With
the small farmer or stock raiser, who
will breed catt le i'm Enclosures. Although
probably productive of loss to alien
cattle companies. he thinks the west
ern country will be greatly benefited.
This elimination oi the large herds he
thinks highly probable in that part Of
the country north of Texas. Some
cOmpanie will continue to raise cat
tie in that state on fenced-in lands.
The increased value of their land. he
thinks. will cOmpensatefo for their other
losses. lie reasons that hard winters
have nothing to do with cattle losses.
The want OF past turage is the main
trouble His advice to cattlenIen ~
to move their stock from the over
crowded ranges OF the western United
! states up into the British Northwest
But n small portion OF it is stocked.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and the
taking off of revenue stamps from Proprit-
tary Medicines. no doubt has largely bene-
fitted the consumers, as well as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers. Especially
is this the case with Green's august Floseer
ali B,s hee's German Syrup, as the reduction
OF thirty-six cents per dozen, has been ad-
del to increase the size of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the Is cent size.
The August Flouer for Dyspepsiaand Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicines in the world. The
advantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in civil
lied countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents

WHAT MAKES TINES HARD.-Generally
speaking there are two things that have
more to do with producing what are
termed hard times with the masses, and
bringing about poverty among individuals,
than all others combined. They are
laziness and a disregard for the practice of
economy. Compared with these the failure
of the crops and the low prices of the same
count as nothing. Wasting precious time
and living beyond their means is what i,

ATGrrlblG SURGICAL Operation
A FATAL MISTAKE.

THE C1erelond (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal |
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon In Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering Cor many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold .perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justifi:
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR.
Vance in the presence Of DR.
Tuckerman, DR.. Pel1ier, DR.
Arms, Dr.. Gordon, DR.. Capner
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. Whe1
this had 1een done an examin
alton of the organs was made
but to the horror and disma,
of the doctors there was NJ
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer
When too late the medical mel
discovered that they had mad
a terrible mistake: but the
sewed the parts together an'
dressed the wound that the,
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and die
in a few hours. How sad j
must be for the husband of thi
poor woman to know that hi
wife died from the effects of
surgical operation that ough
never to have been performed
IF this woman had taken tn
proper remedy for Dyspepsi
and. Nervous Prostration (fo
this was what the disease reall
was), she would have been Ii,
ing today. SHAKER EXTRACT O
Roors, or SE1GEL's CuRAT1v
SYRUP, a remedy made ez
pressly for Dyspepsia or Ind
gestion, has restored many sue
cases to perfect health after a.
other kinds of treatment hav
failed. The evidence of ii
efficacy in curing this class c
cases is too voluminous to b
published here; but those VIII
read the published evidence i
favor of this dyspeptic remed
do not question its convincin
nature, and the article has a
extensive sale. - 4r -
